How To Get Rid Of Headaches For Good | Chiropractor for Headaches in Farragut, TN
Hello everyone, I’m Dr. Courtley from Courtley Chiropractic, and today I’m here to talk about a sustainable solution for headaches. While many turn to medications which do provide temporary relief, they often just mask the underlying issues without truly addressing the root cause.
Identifying the Cause of Headaches
Headaches can be caused by various factors including hormonal imbalances, food allergies, but most commonly, they stem from cervical tension in the neck. This tension affects the nerves and muscles, leading to discomfort and pain that radiates from the neck to the shoulders.
How Misalignments Contribute to Headaches
The nervous system, consisting of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves, is fundamental to overall body function. A common issue we observe in headache sufferers is misalignment in the cervical spine. This misalignment can reverse the natural neck curve, stretching both the spinal cord and associated muscles, thereby intensifying the headache.
Addressing the Problem
Pain signals are your body’s way of telling you something is wrong. To effectively treat headaches, we need to alleviate the pressure on the spinal cord and allow the strained muscles to relax. Correcting the cervical spine alignment is crucial, not only to eliminate the headaches but also to address their cause.
Comprehensive Examination and Treatment Plan
In our office, we begin with a thorough examination to determine the type of headache and the specific misalignments causing it. Our treatment focuses on realigning the spine to its natural curvature which, in turn, alleviates the neurological and muscular tension responsible for the headache.
Sustaining the Results
After correcting the spinal alignment, it’s essential to maintain it. We typically recommend home care routines, including exercises and neck traction, to reinforce and sustain the corrected posture. This comprehensive approach not only relieves headaches but also helps prevent their recurrence.
Our goal at Courtley Chiropractic is not just to relieve your headaches temporarily but to eliminate them by addressing the root cause.
